When the system presumes you're guilty, you need someone who assumes nothing.
On the surface, a criminal investigation may appear simple: Law enforcement builds a case, the
jury decides, and justice is served. But what if the investigation is rushed? What if key details
are missed, or worse, ignored?
Blackfish Intelligence focuses on the facts, and in the gray space between accusation and
outcome, facts are what matter most.
The Problem With Relying on the “Official” Version of
Events
Law enforcement agencies are under pressure to close cases quickly. That pressure often
results in:
• Tunnel vision: Focusing on one aspect to the exclusion of others
• Overlooked context: Ignoring background, character, or key digital timelines
• Poor digital handling: Mishandling or missing data from phones, cloud storage, or
encrypted apps
• Confirmation bias: Focusing only on evidence that supports their theory
If you’re facing serious charges, you can’t assume the system got it right.
From the Blackfish Files: 34 Years Lost to a False
Conviction
In an industrial park south of Dallas, a businessman was attacked and put into the trunk of his
own car, dying later from his injuries. Based on eyewitness statements, police arrested two
men who were later convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Thirty-two years later, Blackfish got involved:
• We discovered that the state’s star witness had fabricated her story in hopes of
collecting a $25,000 reward.
• The other eyewitness, a teenager at the time, but now in his late forties, also admitted
they lied for the reward, and alibi sources confirmed our client had been elsewhere.
• A detailed crime-scene reconstruction showed the alleged sightline was impossible.
Ultimately, our findings helped secure his release after more than three decades behind bars.
What Blackfish Brings to a Criminal Case
We work with defendants, legal teams, and families to conduct independent investigations that
challenge assumptions and uncover what others miss. Our methods include:
Digital Evidence Analysis
Deleted messages. Cloud-based files. Location history. Metadata. We recover, verify, and
explain digital evidence in plain terms that hold up in court.
Scene Reconstruction
What did the cameras actually show? Could a timeline have been manipulated? We recreate
events with forensic clarity.
Witness Interviews & Background Checks
We vet witnesses, confirm timelines, and uncover credibility issues that may undermine shaky
testimonies.
Behavioral Pattern & Motive Analysis
From relationship dynamics to financial pressures, we surface motive and context that tell the
full story, not just the prosecution’s version of it.
Does the Jury Have All the Information?
We’re not defense attorneys. We’re not prosecutors. We are investigators. We follow the
evidence wherever it leads with no assumptions and no shortcuts.
In some cases, we uncover proof that clears the accused entirely. In others, we surface
complexity that reframes the charge or reduces the risk.
When Should You Call Blackfish?
If you’re dealing with:
• A client accused of a violent crime
• A digital trail that’s incomplete or suspicious
• A case that hinges on weak or circumstantial evidence
• A system that’s moving too fast and presuming too much
We can help.
Whether it’s for an active trial, a post-conviction appeal, or a pre-indictment strategy, Blackfish
Intelligence brings deep experience in criminal investigations, with the expertise your case
demands.
Getting It Wrong Is Unacceptable
Lives are changed by accusations. Families are torn apart by incomplete stories. Careers,
reputations, and futures are destroyed when the full picture isn’t brought to light.
Don’t wait until the system locks in its version of the truth.
